An Analysis To Predict The Price Of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 Digital Camera In India

I am quite impressed by the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W290 camera. However, it's not yet available in India (officially). I want to guess its approximate price, when it launches in India in the near future.

To do this, I used the following approach: I looked up the prices of various Sony digital cameras on Sony Style USA and Sony India websites. I tried to derive a pattern in the US price (in US Dollars) and India price (in Indian Rupees). As of today, 1 US Dollar = INR ~50

Following are the contents of my scratchpad:
